Commercial Description:
Malted wheat and the choicest American barley are combined with a blend of noble hops to create this light, fruity, refreshing beer. Brewed in the style of the American beer renaissance, Blue Star is unfiltered, the yeast adding a complex note to the flavor profile. It's especially good with a slice of lemon!

Very nice beer. It brags on the bottle how few ingredients are used and this makes a difference in taste. Very clean and refreshing.

Great beer that does not come on strong or finish too strong. Great beer with a great wheat flavor and just the right amount of balance between the hoppiness and maltiness. probabbly one of the best full wheat and all natural wheat beers. Light lemony and yeasty aroma. great beer

Another surprise from the NCB. When I poured it, I thought that it looked like lemon juice. It ended up being a telltale sign. The lemon flavor is very heavy, but not so overpowering that it ruins the beer in it’s entirety I felt. I will admit that I like strong flavors in a beer, so anything that is very full will most likely get more points from me. It might be so strong that it makes it that you have to dig that lemon flavor in your wheat beer (or full flavors in general), otherwise you might not appreciate it that much.

Bottle. Poured a hazy orange color with a very nice white head. The beer had a very pleasant aroma with a slight bit of citrus and hops. The beer goes down light and thin with a very soft carbonation. Flavor has a slight bit of citrus. I really liked this wheat ale. It does not have too much of a citrus or spice taste. I would definately recommend this beer or drink it again myself.

Orange-gold with decent white head / Steely wheat & citrus nose / Light bodied, crisp, with modest dry hop finish / Flavors of orange, lemon, honey, and dough / A fruity expression of the style.

This golden yellow wheat brew has a slim white foam on top. It smells of hops and fruits, such as oranges and peaches. It is a smooth refreshing taste or hops, grains, and a fruity blend. Another hit by North Coast

Refrashing light fruity aroma, cloudy. orangeish appearance with a thick pour. Flavor - just the right amount of tart without blowing you over tiwht hoppiness. One of the better Ameriacn Wheats out there.
